Aimed at local residents over 50, White City hosts an informal gadget workshop called “What the Tech!?” set up by Imperial Business School students in 2017. In free weekly drop-in sessions, people can bring along any device or online task they need a bit of help with.

One local resident, Michael Woof, has lived just round the corner in Shepherd’s Bush for the last 40 years. He said: “Staff at the library showed me the flyer for What the Tech which looked really inviting, so I got up the courage to come down to the Invention Rooms. The help has been fantastic because it’s given me hope now that I can start using my phone, which I didn’t have before. I am still nervous about it – it will take a while for me to learn something strange that’s all new to me – but I am learning which I am really pleased about.”
